Mudd, S.C., Sister Mary Austin, Donaldsonville, Louisiana, to Bishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1850 June 3

The words of the act as presented to them are as follows: "An act making appropriation for the general expenses of the State up to 31st Dec. 1851." "For the benefit of the Sisters of Charity Donaldsonville $1000." Mr. Landry says he knew nothing of the petition being made until some time after. Sister does not know why it should have been given for their use unless it was given as bait. It is in Sister Emily, S.C.'s hands and Blanc is the proper one to direct its use. The school directors have revoked their directions for changing their school house and request them to continue as heretofore. Father Mariano Maller, C.M. will have made the tour of the United States before he reaches them. :: V-5-m A.L.S. 1p. 8vo.
